Dad is left, Mom middle. They got married April 1969. The college is Arkansas Tech (called Arkansas Polytechnic back then) in Russellville. No idea why "ski lodge" was a theme, complete with fake mountain background stuck to the wall with masking tape.

The fashion is..interesting :P

I've got to hand it to you for that one.

The couple about to kiss each other just to the right were caught red-handed by the photographer who grabbed this shot.

Ski lodges in Arkansas?

Hence the "quotes" around "ski lodge."

It was a themed photo shoot (like for a theme party), apparently the theme was "ski lodge."

I know for a fact my Mom never saw a ski lodge anywhere, ever, having lived in the South her entire life, and the only skiing my Dad ever did was when he was being pulled behind our boat on his water skis. Now, Dad did spend some time in Taos, so he probably at least had SEEN a ski lodge in some form or another.
